Sample OSGi applications

OSGi Applications support includes sample applications that demonstrate how to write and package bundles into an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file.

Two sample OSGi applications are provided: "Blog" and "Blabber". Both applications demonstrate all of the following OSGi Applications features:
  • Using Blueprint management.
  • Using bean injection.
  • Using services from the OSGi service registry.
  • Publishing services to the OSGi service registry.
  • Using the Java™ Persistence API (JPA).

The samples are provided in the OSGi_blogSample.zip and OSGi_blabberSample.zip compressed archive files, which can be downloaded from the Samples download page. The EBA file for each sample application is in the installableApps directory of the sample compressed file, and the source code is provided in other subdirectories of the sample compressed file.

For information about how to install and run each sample application, see the sample_osgi_blog_readme and sample_osgi_blabber_readme respectively. These files are available in the root directory of the associated sample compressed file. They are also available in the information center as topics OSGi blog sample application and OSGi blabber sample application.
